The Occasional Observer

One has to wonder whether the delegates of NY, MA, and other clearly liberal states that will not actually go Republican in general election ought to have their votes worth less during the primary. Specifically, suppose Rudy actually ends up winning the nomination because of the skewed influence of CA, NY, and other states unlikely to go Repub. This doesn't help during general election since those states are going Democrat anyway, so it seems that the states that are on the fence ought to be the most important. We'd like to have a nominee who could swing them towards Repub ticket. Of course if one candidate is a dominant favorite nationwide then this is a moot point, so my guess is this type of reasoning takes place if need be during a brokered convention where there is no clear winner.
